Roger Haenke Connects Healthcare and Faith in a Career Centered on Presence and Support

San Diego, California, 30th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Roger Haenke has spent his career at the intersection of healthcare and faith. As a registered nurse and ordained priest, his work has placed him in moments where people are vulnerable, uncertain, and often searching for support. Whether in hospitals, churches, clinics, or classrooms, Roger Haenke has built a reputation for being present, steady, and quietly dependable.

Roger Haenke began his career in parish ministry after completing his theological education and ordination. He served churches across North Dakota, offering pastoral care, teaching, and leadership. Much of his early work focused on being there for others during personal transitions-illness, loss, change, and growth. These experiences helped shape how Roger Haenke would later approach leadership in every other part of his life.

After leaving active ministry, Roger Haenke returned to school and earned a nursing degree. He started at the bedside and quickly moved into leadership roles. His healthcare career took him through specialty clinics, hospital departments, and community-based health systems. He managed staff, trained nurses, developed new services, and helped improve patient care across several states. At every step, Roger Haenke kept his focus on people and the systems that support them.

The connection between healthcare and ministry was always clear to Roger Haenke. He saw how much both fields depend on trust, communication, and the ability to remain calm when things are hard. He brought this understanding into every room he entered-whether leading a care team, sitting with a patient, or offering support to staff under pressure.

Later, Roger Haenke joined the faculty at San Diego State University. He taught nursing leadership, financial management, and professional development. His students learned not only the structure of healthcare systems, but also how to show up for others with clarity and respect. Roger Haenke's teaching reflected what he had lived: strong systems matter, but presence and consistency matter just as much.

In his later ministry roles, Roger Haenke continued to offer steady leadership to congregations in the San Diego area. He worked with teams, guided transitions, and focused on inclusion, listening, and shared responsibility. His approach was thoughtful, balanced, and always grounded in care for others.

Now, Roger Haenke is entering a new chapter. He is no longer working in formal institutional roles, but he continues to serve the San Diego community in smaller, more flexible ways. Whether volunteering, mentoring, or simply showing up when needed, Roger Haenke remains committed to steady, meaningful work rooted in the same values he has carried all along.

For Roger Haenke, leadership has never been about attention or titles. It has always been about being present when it counts.
